Is Miss Singapore Universe too controversial? 
http://www.divaasia.com/article/4340
Suggestive photos of the current Miss Singapore Universe, Rachel Kum, have been posted on a number of forums, including AsiaOne, less than two months before she is due to represent the island country at the Miss Universe pageant in the Bahamas.
The 25-year-old beauty queen is seen in various photos posted on local blogs and other forums in suggestive poses, including one of her bending over a phallic-shaped cake, as well as two others of her hugging a friend in a phallic-shaped costume and another in a suggestive pose with a blow-up doll.
The New Paper reported that one of the directors of Derrol Stepenny, which organises the beauty pageant, said that Rachel revealed that the photo of the cake had been taken during her 21st birthday, while the other two were taken during Halloween.
Mr Daryl Pang had told The New Paper: "It's no big deal, they were just photos taken during some parties people threw for her.'
Rachel had seen the pictures online and spoken to him about it. She was also upset about the photos.
The beauty queen is no stranger to controversy and has been plagued by it since she joined the pageant. An earlier article in The New Paper reported that some of the other beauty contestants were unhappy about her participation, as she had seemed to join the contest without going through the proper preliminaries.
An e-mail received by The New Paper said the contestant's 'sudden' appearance caused unhappiness among the other contestants.
While some netizens have been critical of Miss Kum's online photos, others have also posted milder comments, even in support of her. Hermit74 posted: "All in all it looks like she was just clowning around."
